"Standing tiptoe a man loses balance, Walking astride he has no pace, Kindling himself he fails to light, Acquitting himself he forfeits his hearers, Admiring himself he does so alone. Pride has never brought a man greatness But, according to the way of life, Brings the ills that make him unfit, Make him unclean in the eyes of his neighbor, And a sane man will have none of them."
